I recently attended MFLA at Howard Community College in Colombia, MD. I was so impressed with the conference this year. Having been to MFLA many times before and having presented at the conference in the past, MFLA always offers up some of the best "bang for your buck" professional development around. I am NEVER disappointed.
Friday is my second favorite "F" word. Food is obviously my first. The food this year was out of control at MFLA. Those of you who know me know I don't turn down much and MFLA gave us no choice but to wine and dine on Saturday, well, without the wine. :) We were well intoxicated with WL ideas anyway, who needs wine. HAHA. I was thankful to attend so many great sessions but so many wonderful colleagues from around the great state of Maryland. The session that stuck with me most was presented by Gloria Dempsey and Crystal Dunkin of St. Mary Ryken High School in Southern Maryland. Wow was their enthusiasm infectious. Their session, "Let's Play- Increased Engagement and Communication Using Technology was incredibly inspiring. Much of what they presented included things many of us were currently using but allowed us to open our minds on different ways to use the apps and how to extend the use of the app past the tool. Their presentation inspired me to create this website so that I could share the great things that we are doing across Washington County in our World Language Program. I invite all teachers to send me your guest blogs throughout the year. What technology are you using? How are you using it? Why are you using it? How does this technology reinforce our standards for World Language? What potential does it have to increase proficiency in the WL classroom? Shoot me an email showcasing your amazing incorporation of technology and we can post it for all to see, learn from, and incorporate! Tech on amigos :) Caroline
